Materials Data on Ba(AsPd)2 by Materials Project
BaPd2As2 crystallizes in the tetragonal I4/mmm space group. The structure is three-dimensional. Ba2+ is bonded in a distorted body-centered cubic geometry to eight equivalent As3- atoms. All Ba–As bond lengths are 3.50 Å. Pd2+ is bonded to four equivalent As3- atoms to form a mixture of edge and corner-sharing PdAs4 tetrahedra. All Pd–As bond lengths are 2.59 Å. As3- is bonded in a 9-coordinate geometry to four equivalent Ba2+, four equivalent Pd2+, and one As3- atom. The As–As bond length is 2.82 Å.
